IMAP mail being re-routed to POP local folder

N

All emails have been redirected into my local mail folder. Inbox, Sent,
Drafts, etc. all have been moved, and I did not do it manually. Also,
my account settings tell the IMAP server to store messages in the
server folders. There are no rules set up. I don't understand. Can
anyone help? Thanks, nikki

Check the Mailing list Manager.

Unfortunately, it is all too easy to accidentally set up an MLM entry when
marking a message as 'not junk' - the dialog presented is worded
ambiguously, and if you choose to 'create a mailing list rule', it doesn't
create what are called 'rules' elsewhere in Entourage, but a MLM entry.

Leaving the default values in place in an MLM entry when an email sent
directly to you is selected will result in an MLM entry being created that
redirects ALL email to you to the local inbox.

This has caught a lot of people out and is a recurring theme on these lists.
I hope that MacBU do something about this issue in the next version!
